Everything I Want

Folder: 
Dedications

I've never felt this way before
or connected with someone so much.

 

You are everything I want
and everything I'm afraid to lose.

 

Paranoia kicks in,
and my mind runs rampant.

 

It's consumed with thoughts
that you will never love me
as much as I love you.

 

Why would you ever love me
with all of my flaws?

 

I feel like a nuisance;
how long until you are tired of me?

 

This string of negativity
rush through my head
ad nauseum.

 

I let these words
flow from my eyes
until my heart settles.

 

A brief weeping calms me
enough to slow the pace
of these racing thoughts.

 

And I realize only time will tell
if you will reciprocate my feelings.

 

So I must practice patience
until I know if your heart will be mine.
